Eric Roberts explains why your weekday calorie deficit disappears if you overeat on weekends. You can't out-deficit yourself Monday through Friday and then undo it all Saturday and Sunday. The fix: stay aware of what you eat the whole week, especially Friday night onward, without needing to be perfect.
Even if you're in a calorie deficit Monday through Friday, if you are not mindful of your calories and making sure you're in the calorie deficit over the weekend, you can be working really hard but never seeing progress, which is probably the most frustrating thing out there. Most people don't ruin their diet on Tuesday. It's Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday during the day. You don't have to be perfect on the weekends. You just can't eat like an asshole.
